Now you want romantic!

What’s your definition of romantic?

Now you want romantic!

Where do you get these prompts?

If I went for a ‘romantic’ moonlit walks

I’d likely pack a torch.


I’m not one for gazing

Up at the stars above

I just get a crick in the neck

Not much conducive to love.


And I wouldn’t be wasting

my money on flowers.

Flowers just make

me sneeze.


I’m not a one

for jewels and such

Seem such a wasteful

Expense.


I could knock out a poem

Some slushy words

But it’s not my style

I’m sad to say

Just not a romantic bard.

Frogs and Princes

Frog Prince

You dreamed of a prince on his charger
Or a frog to transform with your kiss
There’d be happiness ever after
So how did it come to this?

He should have rode into the sunset
And left you there pining for him
But the mistake you both made
Was you let him move in
And now it’s all going wrong.

Men look rough in the morning
Their habits are messy and vile
The truth will be gradually dawning
Frog into prince takes a while.

One kiss ain’t going to do it
It takes more patience than that.
It takes time to smooth the rough edges
But no-one tells you bout that.
